Suppose you manufacture hammers, and your hammers are quite good, with many
innovative features that hammer users find appealing and useful.

You are devoted to the idea, for whatever reason, that hammer heads should
be square. Studies comparing your line of hammers to the competitions' show
that a hammer's having a square head has minimal, in any, effect on the
quantity or quality of nail hits; however, it substantially increases the
incidence of users hammering their thumbs. Then, will you remain devoted to
square heads as a matter of principle, or bow to the will of the users
(their philosophy that smacking their thumbs more than absolutely necessary
causes discomfort) and start making your hammer heads round, like normal?
